The Nekomata's tale, Male Nekomata X DxD

Chapter 1: On her Tail

(nobody's POV)

It was a quiet and dark evening in a certain part of Japan. Gusts of heavy wind and thunderous rain blew throughout the land with its bone-chilling cold blanketing the entire land in it's natural presence. They sky was covered in huge, thunderclouds which grumbled and roared in it's full might without any hindrance. Form a certain point of view, it looked quite peaceful.

However, all was not peaceful on this ill-fated night. A fast, injured figure sprinted down the muddy, slippery surface of the large, expansive thick patch of forest in the heavy downpour of rain and thunder. It was a young woman, battered with scratches and wounds from head to toe, that wandered this cruel jungle. Her tattered outfit, which was very similar to that of a traditional Japanese Kimono, revealed traces of combat and war.

The young woman's skin was pale, resembling the shade of that of white snow in the early winters of Japan. Her hair was a harmonious mixture of black and white, which reflected beautifully upon the thunderous night that partially illuminated the way for the young woman.

Resting upon her damp head was a pair of soft yet sharply trained ears that resembles that of a young feline, with a unique characteristic of having a different variation in their color pattern. One was a dark pitch black while the other was a light white shade. Poking out of her kimono was a pair of 3 long and soft tails, each sporting a black portion on the end of the appendage.

In her hand was a basket containing the sleeping form of her only child. The young infant, like the young woman was one of the legendary Nekomatas, spirits of both human and cat fused into one, that was fabled to roam the streets of ancient Japan. Unfortunately for the young woman, her days of peaceful strolling in the forest with her young infant and her loving mate soon came to a chaotic end. An end that might as well be the end of all Nekomatas and Nekoshou's throughout the world.

She was running to survival. Running away from a group of imposing and destructive bounty hunters. Because of her species being falsely blamed for a crime that wasn't committed by them, a cruel bounty was placed on all of the Nekoshou's as well as their respective superiors. Most of the remaining cat spirits had either fallen victim to the wild and cruel hunt thanks to their pursuers, or they ventured into hiding to possibly never appear again.

It was a grim day for the seclusive tribe of the Nekoshous as well as the Nekomatas. This is the first time this has ever happened. While it is true that there were some....complications with other mystical species that were hard to deal with, but this? This was pure carnage. Eventually, she traversed far enough that the city and buildings of Kuoh came into view. The lights shone like beacons of hope, guiding the mother to scale the high ground.

Her breathing and heartbeat increased rapidly in speed as she hopped over the buildings, showcasing her nimble movements akin to that of a cat. She was heading to the one place that she knew she could trust. It was a very dangerous gamble, and even the young woman knew it would be dangerous for her and her infant son. But.....it was but a sliver of hope that drove her to take drastic action to go to them for help. It was her only choice. 

It was not long after the Underworld had turned against the Nekoshou race. Venelana found her quite pregnant and homeless due to poachers quickly hunting down any nekoshou they could find. She was separated from her husband as he chose to stay back and buy time for her to escape. Instead of murder, Venelana showed mercy and helped her. She gave the Nekomata mother food water and medical attention whenever she should need it. And this drove her almost to tears. Eventually after weeks of searching, Venelana found her husband. He was situated in a nekomata tribe far into woods near Kyoto. She helped them become accustomed to their new life, gave parenting advice based on her 2 children.
